fact she had several proposals from

every single instance these young
fellows were known to be

many refusals to marry. Finally, her

ON A VACATION NOW

His name? IT'S not essential,
But he seemed quite influential
And was very deferential,
To be sure.
And the ladies of the city,
Though it now seems quite pity,
Thought him handsome, gay and witty,
But demure.
Though his folks were poor. this sonny
Was quite lavish with his money,
And it really seemed quite funny
To.us then,
When n little population,
Coming like revelation,
Sent him On long vacation
To the pen.

conquer something, and violin playing
is one of the most difficult things to
learn, and few are the ladies who have
mastered it"
So far this mania has not gained any
great hold on the young ladies of st.
Paul, but still here and there through
out the city can be found a fair one en-
bracing violin and causing the poor
thing to give forth a medley of grum-
blings, groans, shrieks, walls, and all
other sounds that do or can denote an
guish. The male members of these
same families can be found in either the
garnet or cellar meantime, with dishev-
eled hair. clinched fists and signs of in
tense anguish, and wondering whether
the seemingly interminable and horrid
screeching is ever going to cease. Ter
rible as it is to contemplate, violin play
ing is certainly becoming more and
more popular among the ladies.

the evil fate about to 0vertake us.

RAILROAD COLLISION.

The south bound passenger on the
Omaha road and the Northwestern stub
train collided at the crossing of the two
roads, one mile from Mankato, last Fri
day evening. Both trains approached
the crossing together and stopped, and
Immediately started again, the North
western being slightly ahead. The en-
gineer of the latter, seing that a COLI
sion was inevitable, pulled the throttle
wide open in hopes that he would be
able to get the passenger coach safely
past. In this he was successful, but the
Omaha engine struck the baggage car,
which was in the rear, throwing it clear
off the track and rolling 1t over several
times. The baggage-man was fortunate
ly uninjured. The shock also derailed
the Omaha engine, and that train was
delayed several hours in consequence.
The only person injured in the acct
dent was Mr.. W. II. Wilson, the hide
buyer of this city, who received a num-
Der Of injuries, not however of a serious
character.
The collision was undoubtedly the re
suit of carelessness, but there are differ
emit opinions as to where the blame
should rest. Each engineer claims to
have made the stop first and therefore
had the right 10 proceed. Had the pc.
sition of the two cars on the Northwest
ern been reversed, the result of the &C
cident would have been serious, as the
passenger coach was we'll filed. A force
of men was sent from Mankato to clear
up the wreck, and the track was opened
within few hours.
The collision demonstrates how neces-
sary it is that more care be taken by
train men to prevent such accidents.
No possible excuse can be given for such
carelessness as caused Fridays accident

terests. On his arrival In Mankato he
was for short time engaged in the FRS
National Bank as book-keeper or teller
He afterwards purchased the book and
stationery stock of ]. 7. Williams in
block IA Front street, and entered upon
business career in the city. On the
completion Of the Review block he re.
moved from block IA to the room now
occupied by the Raiew, where he re-
manned for some years till the compile
ton of the larger room, two doors south
on Front street, where he enlarged bis
stock and continued the business till his
death, as above stated.
II is but q truthful tribute TO the men,
DRY of our departed friend and fellow
citizen TO say that no more conscientious,
high minded and thoroughly honest
business man than ]. II. Chapman ever
carried on business in this city. His
sterling integrity was never questioned,
and such was his high regard for all that
was noble and pure in life, that the So
called literature of that vicious character
that should ever exclude it from the
homes where purity dwell, was never
found upon his book shelves, and the
posters, advertising sheets and circulars
of its publishers sent him, were prompt
ly consigned to the flames, declaring he
would not indirectly aid them in their
work of corrupting the youth by using
them even as wrapping paper. We
speak of Mr.. Chapman from personal
acquaintance and business relations, dat
ing back to the period of his arrival in
the city, having known HIM intimately
as friend and business man. For the
past few years he has been a severe suf-
ferer from catarrh hay fever and
bronchial troubles, all of which have
been born with patience and manly
fortitude rarely witnessed. Three years
ago he had very severe illness from
which he never fully recuperated.
In his death his many friends in social
and business life have sustained a loss
not easily repaired. He leaves broth
er here and a sister in his native State
to mourn their loss. Peace to thy men,
DRY dear friend.

SCHOOL MAPMSRs.

The committee appointed at the last
meeting of the Board of Education to
examine the various systems and appli-
ances for heating and ventilating the
school buildings of the city, is composed
of Messrs. Jos. Manderfeld, Perry Wy
song aud w. W. P. Mcconnell. After
mature consideration these gentlemen
| have decided TO recommend the appar-
atus of the Exhaust Ventilator Co., OF
Chicago. 1t is proposed 10 fit up the
Union and Pleasant Grove buildings
with this system, and also to put it into
the new High school building, should the
proposition to issue bonds for the erec-
ton of such building be carried at the
April election.
The deplorable lack of proper facilities
for heating and ventilating the school
buildings of the city Ii well known, and
the matter of making some improve
ments in this direction is one that inter
ests every parent. The committee men,
toned above has faithfully studied the
subject and consider the Exhaust Ven.
tia tor Co.'S apparatus the best that can
be selected. This Company makes the
ventilation Of school houses specially
and can remedy the faults IN our old
buildings and make them safe and
healthy, adding appliances that will in
fsure proper temperature. Many o.
the largest public buildings of the coun'
try have adopted this system and iti
success has been fully demonstrated.
The matter of making this necessary
improvement TO the Union and Pleasan
Grove buildings, together with the pro
position to erect new High schoo
building viii come before the voter
next month. The importance Of pro
viding the additional building wa
spoken of last week. Our citizens can
not afford to pursue a niggardly eours'
in this matter, and we hope they viii
see the importance Of providing the
funds for the purposes Indicated.

Miss Anna Meredith, who has been
with Frink & Richards for the past two
years, has just accepted a position with
Mcconnell & Thomas, where she will be
pleased to see her friends.
The roads leading from Chicago to
the Northwest have agreed to abolish
commercial mileage tickets, and to sell
only the regular mileage tickets at q
cents per mile straight. The order has
gone into effect. Heretofore the COM
mercial mileage ticket has been sold
only to authorized representatives Of
jobbing houses. They were sold at the
rate of q cents per mile, but with a re-
bate which made the net rate to the
company cents per mile. This rebate
is withdrawn, and mileage tickets, good
for ], 600 mile ride, will be sold to ev-
cry one, no matter what his business
may be. The sale will be made under
certain conditions, which make the
ticket non-transfersble, and limited only
for one year from the date of sale.
"A team of horses belonging to ]. 6.
Roller, and driven by P. ]. Hiddinger,
became frightened ut the corner of Third
and Cherry streets Monday forenoon,
and started on q mad dash down the
latter thoroughfare. Just after crossing
the C. NJ. & st. P. railroad track at the
wood market, the wagon was overturned
and the dri-r thrown out, the team
continuing until a run crossed by cul-
vert was reached. One of the horses
cleared this with jump, but in doing
80 broke one of his legs. The runaway
ended there, and when the owner of the
horses arrived it was found that the in
iured horse would have to be killed.
The driver was somewhat bruised by
his fall, but not seriously injured. The
animal killed was q valuable one, and
Mr.. Roller had but recently refused $50
for him.
1t is thought by members of the
council having the matter of sewerage
under consideration that the most feas-
ible plan to start with is to construct
sewer in the alley between First and
Second streets. This would give drain
age to the property and business houses
along Front street, besides solving the
problem of sewerage for the prospective
new hotels. Both of these projected
buildings could make convenient con-
nections to a sewer thus located, and the
route would give those already in oper-
alton the same opportunity. The mat
ter will come up for discussion at the
special meeting of the council on the
18th inst. All citizens who have the
good of the city at heart must see the
importance and ACCESSIBILITY of this work,
and we hope the necessary steps will be
taken next Thursday evening to secure
| its adoption.
